My grandparents were privileged to know George through the insurance business several years ago. We then we honored to have him as part of our family when our son married his grand daughter, Jenn. He was a wonderful person, a joy to be around. He will be sorely missed. Our sympathies go out to all the family. You are in our prayers.
